Well, the CVS version of MH-E works with it (which will be 8.0), but
there are still a few gaps in mailutils-mh compared to nmh.  But it's a
fast moving target.  When I discovered it's existence, I noted that it
didn't have an `ali' command.  One was coded a few weeks later.

I should be using it more to contribute bug reports...
